What Do Singaporean Women Want In A Partner? | TDK Podcast

[@Fenrir8080]

I think its high time we as a society acknowledge that the dating app experiences may not be the same for all races as well. Would like to see conversations with some nuance.

[@meluvcats]

You guys should do one on how gay men interact on dating apps. It'll be a short one. Step 1: Match Step 2: Silence Step 3: Unmatch Repeat.

The last part debate about whether Jurong East and Jurong West are in Jurong had me shook as a west sider🤣YES JURONG EAST AND JURONG WEST ARE IN JURONG

[@vansonthewall8]

I matched w JP and we talked a bit but he didn't reply afterward :')

[@sayeeed1303]

He is not obligated to

[@sayurik]

Bumble is awesome! Before I met my current boyfriend (thru bumble) I went on a date where the guy ghosted me and didn’t show up. I reported him on bumble and they took really quick action against him and blocked him from the app in 2 days. Additionally they also were super sweet and sent me a bouquet of yellow roses 🥰 I was so surprised by the quick action that they took against him, I don’t think most dating apps would even take my reporting seriously since he didn’t sexually harass or assault me. Still, it made me feel safe on this platform where I feel that they look out for their users.

[@JohnSmith-nz2yq]

Apparently, they didnt look out for the guy.

[@sayeeed1303]

So what's wrong with him not showing up? That is normal in dating. Women ghost men all the time but face no consequences

[@Averagebum21]

The fear of being labelled a creep that Dan mentioned is very real. The very same laws that have protected women in modern society from abusive men from more ancient societies have probably hindered the development of the more valiant men who existed in those more ancient societies also. I am sure there are many men who wouldn’t mind dating a more capable, more intelligent, or superior woman, even an alpha female, but no man would date a woman who uses those laws that protect women from abuse to control men around her or in her life. Singaporean women are the most unfriendly women I have seen anywhere in the world. Most walk around with a frown or stern face as if they fear being raped by every strange man who smiles at them or greets them. And many won’t even return a greeting or smile back.

[@JamieKYT]

Nabei singaporeans can't even decide what to eat, don't even talk about a partner right?? XD

[@yong79]

John best, totally at ease can make funny face, wear slippers lol. Love your videos guys the chemistry and humor is top notch, there are certain things that cannot be faked. Keep it up can’t wait for the next episode.

[@李珊-f2r]

Lol some similar story happened and he went to the toilet too and it was at a big shopping mall in Asia and then he disappeared like that cause I wouldn't go home sleeping with him lol but at least I let him pay for the food and date and everything. He payed everything. Yeah I blocked him and ghosted him too. He wasn't looking for friends but for something else only. Cut off all contact directly and move on. I don't even care about it. Just her story reminded me of that.

[@michaelblue4619]

Honestly, the thing about the photos is all a moot point xD Looking good is the number one factor. Truly, if you look good, you don't put yourself with any friends, no activities, just a simple selfie. It'll work out lol.

[@ksy6177]

Indeed

[@LonganLee]

Choosing marriage partner is sg is conditional. Eg. A lady decides to marry a guy based on his qualities like his wealth and looks. But he may lose his job when he is over 40 and lose his looks or health. Then she no longer has what she wanted . So, marriage is a transaction and conditions meeting the marriage are temporal and not lasting.

[@VivianHoGrey13]

I had my first dating app experience back during uni and I remembered I was having a blast because I always made the first move when I got matched. More so, I would use pickup lines then (I just loved those when I read them online and wanna used them ahha). Most of the guys who responded said they were impressed by my first move, and also the pickup line.

[@jamesong5296]

It has def become more easier compared to pre app dates but it has also come with new challenges as well. Just to find the significant one it was a lot of trial and error and rejections and the total tally I had was about 250+ matches and conversations and 14 meetups before I found a partner. It was like getting a sale where you have to face 100 rejections before you can get 1 sale

[@JaswantSingh-ym9zo]

As an ex-cab driver, if a passenger is straight with me that he only has a certain amount of money before getting into my cab, I will oblige

[@brok3]

waa John finally back

[@dtanx8978]

There are much quest.. i end up doing the side quests and no longer focusing on the main quest.

[@dropleague]

My experience in Bumble is that even when I match with someone, The female NEVER EVER starts anything, so the time limit of 48 hours just go by and nothing starts. So i always wonder why tf those girls are in Bumble in the first place?

[@melwu7954]

A guy that is a house husband that is good at being a jack of all trade

[@Zoids-bf6op]

It’s tiring having to go through hundreds of profile just to only get a few matches that may not even be your type. Swiping apps like these are notorious for sucking $$ out from a guys pocket just to gain a false sense of “convenience”. As a saying goes, it’s tired to look for love. Let love look for you. And ladies should be the one perusing, if not all the good guys gonna get snatch up by other ladies..

[@tlq4957]

really meh... the younger gen seems to like casual dating...

[@Callsign-Blade_RunnerSG]

Most of these Singaporean ladies (Usually Chinese ones) have sky high expectations and entitlements when they were younger but as they aged, they realised that their dating pool are shrinking rapidly. They’ll then be forced to start dating more realistically. Unfortunately by then, most of the guys their age whom are considered good catches would have already been snapped up by foreign ladies who knows it pays to stick around the men of their choice while they build their careers. Just my observations.

[@NathanNoon]

I just feel the dating inequality is so high in SG and women stereotype men too much

[@dgiant12345]

Girls always say they like tall guys but till today still single🤦🏻‍♂️ fyi iam 1.92🤷🏻‍♂️

[@xinyiapplepie]

Yay john is back!

[@andytanSG]

Ello 👋 Edit : JOHNS BACK!

[@JohnathanChuaa]

YAY

[@eeivriell]

Personally, i don’t think pick up lines will get you anywhere when just matched with someone. I think it’s more for annoying somebody you’ve already known. I don’t think girls really like pick up lines anyway? They’re all kinda lame and cringy, so it’s like you’re digging ur own grave on day 1 already.

[@NathanNoon]

Actually pick up lines do work for the bad boy types and usually they get away with it most of the time and women dig it if they find the guy attractive

[@laylac]

True, I don’t care for pickup lines at all haha

[@TheBobbyBlitz]

I like how Ray is the one who edited this 😆

Better and more interesting and interested in Singaporean men

[@sandrine.lammie6840]

HAHAHS the flyers part so relatable 🤣🤣🤣

[@李珊-f2r]

Yes Singaporean men are good looking. The men from Singapore are handsome and the men in singapore are very tall and they have a good style and know how to dress.

[@Ryuoinsomnia]

"looked at myself" Laughs* Nonsense lmao

[@李珊-f2r]

Not nonsense, men in singapore are very tall and handsome. You are not the majority of a country and you are probably not even Singaporean but just an Angmoh hating that women leave positive things for Asian men

[@angiemf9033]

Pls enlighten me. Why do guys carry their gf’s handbags?

[@MrTadpole96]

Bcoz it’s like we are gentlemen also it shows that she trust you enough

[@yapolloable]

cause the gf lazy and has princess syndrome.

[@Lufqil92]

They are the GF's manslave

[@cheyxnne]

Naq HAHHAHA IKR

[@Callsign-Blade_RunnerSG]

@@MrTadpole96 If the ladies respect us as Gentlemen, they would not even let us carry their bags in public because they know how bad it’ll looked to people seeing this. Women these days just want to show off that they are the ones wearing the pants in the relationship thus wouldn’t mind Beta males from performing such act to exhibit the power they have over them.

[@djmcn_]

I used to live in upstate NY and almost every guy had a fish photo. It felt like these guys were too common and boring.

[@李珊-f2r]

Men should approach girls/ women first. But very respectfully of course.

[@xadeliciousxx]

Why does Jillian look like JP and Dennis lovechild?

[@melwu4839]

A women is looking for a men with the same faith same believe of the holy family that bonds two married people to bring forward the same faith to their own kids

[@mysticery]

Wtf denise doesnt know what its like to not have money… sometimes its really no choice, youre short of money, and you need to get a taxi, especially when youre somewhere ulu and do not know the way (bare in mind this is before smartphone), the best is to let the driver know you only have this much, and just pray it is enough to bring you close to your destination and maybe walk the remaining.

[@gomandtokki7068]

[@xuele94]

Honestly using dating app opened my world of knowledge. I am so shock to knoe the % of guys coming prepared to pay for the first meal is so small. And the number of ppl out there just looking for FWB. I think first impression counts. If a guy ask for a split for the first meal. U will expecf it to be the same for subsequent meal n to me tats alittle too tiring n calculative as a couple. Its like telling u, u r like my other friend⁸⁸8s? Which to me its such a turn off n will def be fren-zoned. But also effectively help me to narrow down my focus n eventually found my love outside the apps though.
